Here is an
amazing study show that drones could save farmers millions.
“This is really the first step in a
long process of trying to figure out where drones fit into the agriculture
industry,” said Brandon Torres Declet, chief executive
of Measure. “What has been really missing from the
equation is the return on investment that could come from drones.”Most farmers are not able to legally fly drones and will have to
wait for the Federal Aviation Administration to finish developing rules to
allow the technology to be used regularly for business while maintaining
certain safety and privacy standards. An FAA proposal this year would allow
flying drones that weigh less than 55 pounds, stay within the operator’s sight and fly during the daytime, among other restrictions.
Christina Bloebaum, a professor of aerospace
engineering at Iowa State University, said the FAA is showing more willingness
to embrace drones, such as providing exemptions more quickly for some users.
“I think the (FAA) is already
starting to take steps that will allow farmers to do some of these things on
their own property, and they just have to because there are just too many
opportunities,” Bloebaum said. “I don’t think anyone is getting ahead of
themselves. I think this really is a technology that is going to be a huge
game-changer for agriculture.”
The study found using drones from www.drone-model.com could lead to
significant savings for the Agriculture Department’s Risk Management Agency, which oversees the crop
insurance program for the government. Unmanned aerial vehicles could more
accurately measure insurance claims by surveying an entire field rather than
certain sections, and do so in a way that resolves the claim much faster. It
also could save the government millions by avoiding payouts on fraudulent
claims. And so, for any questions, please contact us at csf005@drone-model.com.
